Explore the Bay of Islands Positioned centrally in Paihia, the cottage is a short stroll from the town’s cafes, restaurants, and the iconic waterfront. Here are three unmissable local experiences:

• Waitangi Treaty Grounds (5-minute drive): No visit is complete without understanding New Zealand’s founding history. Explore the beautifully maintained grounds where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. Witness the powerful cultural performance in the carved meeting house, and see the world’s largest ceremonial war canoe.
• Hole in the Rock Cruise: Departing from Paihia Wharf, this classic maritime excursion takes you through the stunning island archipelago. Keep an eye out for dolphins as you cruise towards the famous rock formation at Cape Brett. If conditions allow, the boat will sail directly through the hole—a truly memorable moment.
• Haruru Falls Walkway: For a beautiful and easy scenic walk, follow the coastal track from Paihia to Haruru Falls. This approximately 5km (one-way) path winds through mangrove forests offering glimpses of wildlife, culminating at the picturesque “Roaring Falls.” You can arrange a kayak trip back or simply retrace your steps.

Paihia Place Cottage delivers exceptional value by combining the comforts of a full home with an unbeatable location. It’s more than just a place to sleep; it’s your comfortable, private base for creating lasting memories in one of New Zealand’s most beautiful coastal regions.
